core plug

I lost all of my coolant today at the dumps and had to get a tow home. I am pretty sure one of the core plugs went out. A pressure test tommorrow will confirm that. Is this an easy fix? I have been reading old posts, but I can't really tell what I am going to be in for. I drive a 65 F100, with a 292. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

Last 292 = 1964 / 1965/67 F100/350 V8's are 352 2V.

292 core plugs related to water: block and at front/rear of cylinder heads: 1 3/4" cup type.

352/360/390: core plugs in block: 1 3/4" cup type

292 = the dizzy is behind the carb. / 352/360/390 = the dizzy is in front of the carb.
